Check out the group buy for a Sachs clutch, get in touch with Ed @ APS in Brackley and all will be well  :happy2:

what he said ^^^^. Sachs from group buy would be the cheapest option as you can use DMF you already have. However there were some issues with Sachs clutches as you find out while browsing on the forum. Alternative is Helix or South Bend.

I could recommend South Bend stage 2 daily with SMF. SMF is more reliable than OEM DMF and due to reduction to mass car revvs quicker. I got mine from the States much cheaper then here. This set is priced at 900 USD with SMF plus postage and any taxes on top etc

I could recommend Jeff from USP motorsports. He's great to deal with and answers quickly to mails

Try this one, I don't think the one your looking at will deal with the extra hp on your car. May as well go for the higher price one and forget about 'slip'.

They sell these all over the place, not just at APS, but the guys there will fit it all for you if necessary.
